Blurb:

Supernatural
Branch of Law Enforcement empath Ella Walsh sucks memories from people's heads.
The job fills her mind with others' nightmares and leaves her with little time
for love, but if she doesn't pair off with a mate of the government's choosing
soon, the psychic blowback will destroy her powers and her sanity.

The last time shapeshifting SBLE superstar
Vadim Morosov worked with an empath, he got her killed and himself assigned to
a desk. He worries about taking on another partner, but helping Ella track down
an empath killer might be his only chance to save his career.

Naturally, the government decides to throw
them together.

They resist at first, but they can't deny the
simmering heat between them. As the killer's strikes grow closer to home, their
bond gets tighter. And when the murderer finally traps Ella, her developing
link with Vadim might be the only thing that can save her.

Excerpt:

Ella stopped walking and faced him. “Look, are you programmed to
disagree with everything I say, or are you just totally obnoxious?”

“Probably a little of both.”

“Then get over it. I’m already tired of having to argue with you
all day.”

“You could try agreeing with me for a change.”

She started walking again. “Right. Like that’s going to happen.
We’re obviously not meant to be best buddies, okay? So let’s do what Feehan
said and try to get along at least on a professional level.”

“You prefer to keep things professional?”

“Of course.”

“You don’t date your colleagues?”

“Why, are you trying to summon up the courage to ask me out?”

He laughed, displaying a dimple near his chin. His blue eyes
crinkled at the corners and he looked so damn sexy Ella almost wanted to smile
back.

“For the record, Morosov, I don’t date.”

“Why not?”

“Because...” She glared at him. “I don’t owe you an explanation,
do I?”

“Not yet.”

“Wow, you really are over-confident.”

“Not at all. As your colleague, I’m just concerned about your
well-being.”

“I have men, I don’t date them.”

He nodded. “So you’re afraid of commitment.”

“My life will probably end at twenty-seven.” She looked up at him.
“Would you subject someone you loved to that?”

Ella regretted the words the moment she said them. She didn’t want
him feeling sorry for her.

He let out his breath. “Probably not.” He reached out and took her
hand. “I apologize.”

She flinched as his magic shot through her. “I knew you weren’t
quite human.”
